Even two years ago Italy would not have realigned like they did there and Ireland would not have to have worked for that try, especially not like they just did. I'm impressed.

Ireland need to get the line out working again or this could be a long afternoon! Hawkseye view on that try of Dave Kearney stopping in midfield is going to get him a serious tongue lashing at film review. Cian getting a little cheeky in the scrums and boring in on the second push, hope he...

@Gel Just rewatched "that" box kick. Davies would likely not even have made it through that clogged space, if any one of 6/7/8 had held their line Rod would have never even had a chance to chase the ball. To top it off, we had a fairly sizeable overlap against a defense scrambling...

There is no statistic for your defensive line being on roller-skates going backwards, ours was for stretches of time that are far too long for me to be comfortable with. That's what I'm worried about going into Durban. The Sharks will bring an entirely differently level of physicality than we...

Makes sense. Still waiting to get my hands on the game to take a closer look. Cheeters were offside last night in a way that I haven't seen since I stopped playing for the Freshman team at college..seriously poor reffing in that regard.

Club Conferences are based on geography. For example, I've played almost all my rugby in the Mid-Atlantic conference. The city system would be a step above the clubs and would, by the sounds of things, effectively take the place of our now-defunct geographical rep sides. Ie: I could play for...

How is Mags doing? I really wish they could have kept him in a coaching role.

I think it was only one long pass that got picked off, QC (Quade Cooper) double pumped when he should have just let it go on the first one and Prinsloo read it well. I can live with that. Still finding pieces of the glass I threw when Genia box kicked that ball early in the game. That was something I'd...

I think breaking off and fragmenting is actually the right way to go right now. We simply have geographical issues that other second-tier nations do not have to contend with. Starting a geographically-local elite league on the West coast was definitely the right way to go.

Gill's ball handling was much, much better than it was against the Tahs. Some of the balls from first receiver off the line out to Quade were great, flat and in front.

How great is it that you can immediately pick Quirk out of the crowd after the stands empty onto the field

Critical weaknesses in the spine of our team showed themselves again last night, perhaps to an even greater degree than the week previous. Now off to Durban...

Defense was very poor for long stretches. Slow to realign, tacklers falling off like flies, not only slow to realign but when they did realign gaps were still being left and we were literally gifting front foot ball to the Cheetahs (a team seemingly bereft of ideas outside of "give it to Willie...

You mean his Reds spot

Why would you even box kick there

awwww yissss

So we're 2 line outs in and Schatz has jumped front pod twice, first line out was defensive and a clean steal! Guess I'm onto something ;) He gets off the ground fast

Canes on vacation

Haha I don't think Butler was held in that tackle at all, he could have gotten up and scored a garbage picker try there.
